A love story like no other, Planet of Snail is a mesmerizing documentary about an accomplished young poet who can no longer hear or see and his relationship to the world around him. Young-Chan is deaf and blind. He learned to speak when he was very young, but soon after lost his sight and hearing. He lives with his wife, Soon-Ho, who is his soul mate, an inseparable part of his life, and a window to the outside world. Young-Chan and Soon-Ho communicate through finger braille, a unique form of touch-based sign language in which words are tapped out on each other's hands. They rely on one another completely. However, Young-Chan must be able to survive on his own. One day, as Soon-Ho waits anxiously at home, Young-Chan embarks on the biggest adventure of his life. -- (C) Cinema Guild

Review For Movie Planet of Snail
"Planet of Snail" is simple, direct and magical.
Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times Gentle, simply told love stories are as rare in documentaries these days as they are in narrative film. That alone makes Yi Seung-jun's "Planet of Snail" a standout.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post "Planet of Snail" offers a precious moment of clarity and simplicity amid a chaotic and poisonous summer, and tells an unforgettable love story to boot.
Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com Above all, this beautifully photographed documentary is a poetic meditation on refined sensory perception.
Stephen Holden-New York Times A portrait of practical symbiosis in both domestic and emotional terms.
Stephanie Zacharek-NPR An unadorned, unsentimental portrait of a marriage, Yi Seung-jun's documentary Planet of Snail celebrates the daily life of an exceptionally collaborative couple.
Melissa Anderson-Village Voice It's almost as if the images and sounds most of us are constantly bombarded with only serve to distract from a primal, tactile experience of the world.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian Both modest and awe-inspiring.
Betsy Sherman-Boston Phoenix A rare nonfiction romance film [about] a couple worth comparing your own marriage or partnership to, and the film is a wonderful, poetic portrait of true love.
Christopher Campbell-Movies.com With little story to speak of, Planet Of Snail is more of an experiential piece, closing in on the pleasure and wonder with which Young-chan takes in details like rain falling outside the window and the bark of a tree.
Alison Willmore-AV Club A deeply moving documentary about love, living with disabilities, savoring the senses, and being present.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice Even with the heaviness of some of its subject matter, the doc remains limpid and unsentimental until the very end, in keeping with its subject.
Kenji Fujishima-Slant Magazine An exquisite documentary about an extraordinary love.
Jennifer Merin-About.com An absolute gem.
Mark Kermode-Observer [UK] Neither the subject nor director ask for sympathy; what emerges is a nuanced hymn to the human spirit that still saddens, even when it inspires.
Catherine Shoard-Guardian [UK] This is a unique love story with a universal resonance.
Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph The senses of taste, smell and touch aggregate to create a new perceptual cosmos.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Life-affirming and delightful.
